Someone told the officer there was someone on a scooter with a handgun.

When the officer approached the suspect, the 15-year-old reached for something from his waist and that's when shots were fired.

In the video, you can hear the officer tell the 15-year-old to "get his hands up."

The teen is then seen reaching for his waistband and starts to say, "It's a B-B gun" before the officer shoots.

Police say they initially stopped the boy because they got a report of a teen with a gun matching his description.

During their investigation following the incident, police discovered the weapon in the teen's waistband was a replica of a glock semi-automatic handgun.
